Thanks for catching this.
I wonder if we could fix this issue
by one-liner, like this:
diff --git a/scripts/Kconfig.include b/scripts/Kconfig.include
index 8a5c4d645eb1..4bbf4fc163a2 100644
--- a/scripts/Kconfig.include
+++ b/scripts/Kconfig.include
@@ -25,7 +25,7 @@ failure = $(if-success,$(1),n,y)
# $(cc-option,<flag>)
# Return y if the compiler supports <flag>, n otherwise
-cc-option = $(success,$(CC) -Werror $(1) -E -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null)
+cc-option = $(success,$(CC) -Werror $(CLANG_FLAGS) $(1) -E -x c
/dev/null -o /dev/null)
# $(ld-option,<flag>)
# Return y if the linker supports <flag>, n otherwise
This propagates not only -Werror=unknown-warning-option
but also other clang flags to Kconfig.
Currently, we do not pass the target triplet to Kconfig.
This means, cc-option in Kconfig evaluates the given flags
against host-arch instead of target-arch.
The compiler flags are mostly independent of the architecture,
and this is not a big deal, I think.
But, maybe, would it make more sense to pass the other
basic clang flags as well?
To do this, the following is necessary as a prerequisite:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11063507/
Anyway, uninitialized CLANG_FLAGS is a bug, which must be
back-ported.
Thanks.
